Question

my aunt gave me a few of her eyeshadow brushes and they say "foil" and "fuse" on them...what do these terms mean?

and what is highlighter used for, is it just another word for bronzer?

thanks =]

Answer 1

use the highlight on the browbone, or just under the brow!

Answer 2

that tool is used to highlight the structure of your face.. to bring out the natural beauty. to make your face more lumanous.

Answer 3

I don't know about the first two, but highlighters are used to naturally accentuate your features. You can dust a bit just under your brow.

Depending on your face shape you put it in certain areas.

Answer 4

it means contrast and neatness and highlighter is used for making things lighter

Answer 5

all i know is that the highlighter is used to highlight certain areas.

Answer 6

i dont know about the brushes, but highlighter isnt the same thing as a bronzer.

you put it on certain spots on your face to make you look brighter and fresher. im not sure where you're supposed to put it though haha

Answer 7

foil is used to put on your base; the base just holds the shadow on longer. Fuse is used to apply your shadow. And a bronzer is used to highlight ur cheeks or used to even ur skin tone.

Answer 8

idk about the first one but u put highlighter under your eyebrows and on top of your cheek bones  

Answer 9

Good question!

First of all, the "foil" and fuse" are different kinds of eye shadow brushes. The "foil" brush is used to apply eyeshadow when it is damp, so you get a real "foiled" look, with some shine. Try it! The "fuse" brush is define the eyes and put a fair bit of eyeshadow on your lid.

Highlighter is so important! It is not bronzer. Makeup can be used to play up or play down things on your face. You highlight and contour. highlight is a lighter colour. You can buy it, or just use some matte eyeshadow in a shade lighter than your skin. Contour is darker. When you highlight, you want to bring attention to certain areas where light would hit. It really makes a difference. For example, putting it underneath your eyebrows makes your eye lift. Some people put it down their nose, to make it look long and lean. Another great place is on top of your cheekbones. Some highlighters have a bit of shine or glimmer, be careful using those. Remember to always blend with a sponge.

Good luck!!!
